erm... it's a casual chat with the mods.... how can anything as long as it[s with the mods be off topic?

How does a question about Macs have to do with the mods and why was the other thread locked? Could it be because things got too random?

I started the original thread and I set the guideline that this was not to turn into a random chat thread (which we don't allow according to our forum rules). The only reason this was started was because some users were just spamming other threads to talk to moderators about things.

i see... so questions then to the mods specifically, and as a whole if they are too random, then they won't be answered?

I mostly bake but I cook a lot too. I don't know what would be considered the "best" though. I've made a lot of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Thai dishes. Despite having some traumatic experiences in the kitchen, I still love to cook. "Traumatic experiences" include dropping a knife on my toe and ripping it open, cutting the tip of my finger off, the cat knocking a knife onto the floor and cutting nicely into my foot (and subsequently, passing out from blood loss), and burning my arm on the stove top (due to my siblings joking around/pushing me around near the burners).

Mods: What was the original reason(s) you applied as a moderator (and be honest). What is the reason you still continue to be a moderator?

You sound like something right out of Happy Tree Friends...

I wanted to be just like you guys. Aww...

But seriously, part of it was for the star. Justin gave me a taste of the benefits (during the time) when he gave me a star (still worship him because of that). Now, there isn't really much incentive to keep going, but I still do. I guess it's because I just like the community, and I don't want to see it go to the shitter.

Not really. Google doesn't yield that many results. I either look them up in moetron, or I simply get a screen shot from episodes. This particular avie came from the 2nd opening sequence of the series.

I absolutely LOVE ed's avatars for no apparently reason. I just get a kick out of each one he's had up there.

I saw a bunch of Do0mAid's Picks! and wondered what the heck that meant. I thought it would be SuPeRuBeRkawaiikEwL to have some of my own. Then mauz15 broadened my horizons that human moderators exist on this website and that they deal with a lot of the public issues, which I found intriguing. I had a lot of time on my hands while at work, and also figured this would be a good way to further procrastinate with my homework and studies. Why do I continue to be a moderator? I have absolutely no idea. There are no more perks like high quality videos or the special star thing (sorta). The website has lost it's true form like a bunch of us mentioned, but I can honestly say it's just become an addiction...a routine.
